Silver fillings, also known as amalgam fillings, are a durable and cost-effective solution for treating cavities. Made from a blend of metals, including silver, mercury, tin, and copper, amalgam fillings are strong and long-lasting, making them ideal for restoring back teeth that undergo heavy chewing pressure. The procedure for silver fillings involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth, cleaning the cavity, and then filling it with the amalgam mixture. The filling hardens quickly, providing an immediate seal to protect the tooth from further decay. One of the advantages of silver fillings is their longevity—they can last for many years, even decades, with proper care. However, they are more noticeable than tooth-colored fillings, which is why they are typically used for back teeth, where aesthetics are less of a concern. While some people are concerned about the presence of mercury in silver fillings, numerous studies have shown that they are safe and pose no health risk when placed by a qualified dentist. Silver fillings are also more affordable than other types of dental fillings, making them a popular choice for patients seeking a functional, budget-friendly option to restore their teeth.
